Will the one who memorizes the Qur'an enter Hellfire or be punished?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah grants security from punishment to the bearer of the Qur’an who memorized it and acted upon it, seeking Allah’s countenance. The Qur’an will come as an intercessor for him on the Day of Resurrection. However, as for one who memorized it out of ostentation or did not act upon it, there is fear for him of punishment. It has been reported that the first people with whom the Fire will be fueled on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who gathered the Qur’an for show.
